out twenty-four hours the jury in the case of
Arensacrf, charged with the murder of Had
dock was discharged. The foreman said
that eleven favored acquittal, and as only
one showed stubbornness there was yet hope
for an agreeslent. Thereupono Dennis O'Con-
nell rose and said he was the stubborn jury
man referred to, that his ooinion was
matter OF jud yment and conscience between
him and his G ID, and that If the jury should
remain out five weeks he could not discard
what he considered right opinion for
wrong one. Judge Lewis then discharged
the jury This leaves the case in the same
condition as it was before the trial began, SO
far as the court is concerned. There is con-
siderable comment on tin, street upon the ac-

ONE of the most intelligent and conserva-
tive organizations Of workingmen is the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. 1t is
not so noisy as some other organizations
so much before the public, but it is none the
less very strong and useful body. At
meeting Of the brotherhood held in Boston,
few days ago, the address was delivered by
Grand Chief Engineer Arthur. man of excel
lent sense and Judgment in which, referring
to the business feature of the order, he said
that although at first regarded with dstrust
by railway managers it was now approx ed by
them, and ne had not met one in ten years
who seriously opposed it. On every road
where the brotherhood was organized there
was what was known as a grievance commit
tee,'' to which all the grievances of the men
were made known. 1t ought to be composed
of cool headed men, and those longest in the
service of the road and known to the officials.
He was sorry to say it was not always so made
out. 1t was the duty of this committee to
lay grievance, if it was considered just
one, before the officials of the road, starting

redressed, from one to the next highest, until
the general manager was reached. If he
failed to settle the difficulty the grand chief
engineer was sent for, and he seldom failed to
bring about an amicable adjustment. This
| system is based ON the idea that ought to pre-
vail in all labor organizations and in all deal
ings between capita, and labor, viz: the prin-
ciple of arbitration. The proper recognition
and enforcement of that idea would do away
with far the greatest part of so-caled labor
troubles. In his address at Boston Mr.. Ar

President and Hill for Governor they can carry
the State next year. That remains to be
seen. Hill yielded reluctantly to this arrange
ment, for the presidential bee has been buzz
ing loudly in his bonnet for some time; but
he was reminded that he was still young
man and that ne was growing steadily in po-
litical popularity, and that by being elected
Governor of New York he would be a stronger
card for the presidential nomination in 1892
than in 1888, and he was assured that the
friends of Hill and the friends of Cleveland
would stand by him to man for President in
1892. One advantage of this plan Is that 1t
gives timely notice to Western aspirants for
the presidency that they need not apply, and
it relieves the average Democratic voter OF

The Commercial has suggestion to make to
President Cleveland. During his Swing round
the circle". he will visit people whom he has
never met before, save in the character OF Office
seekers. The association and observation will
do him good. 1t will give him an opportunity

New York, and during his brief visit there he
should make it convenient to learn the differ

cratic organization in that State.
To begin with. he has been nggardly in his
distribution of Offices to the Indiana Democrats.
During Hendricks regime the Indianians were
taught 30 believe that hard work at the polls
meant an equivalent In Offices. In 1884 the
Hoosier Democrats did their duty by Mr.. Cleve-
land, and had it not been for their loyalty and
enthusiasm he would not now be in the presi-
Dental chair. His failure to recognize their
services. and his disposition to apply the rigors

The Union soldiers in the Democratic ranks
in that State are disposed to make issue of
the flag episode, and in any disagreement be-
tween the g. A. r. aud the President they will
not take sides against their army comrades.
To sum it up, Indiana will not be as safe to
the Democracy in 1888 as it in 1884, and the
President should not fail to bring enough oil
with him to pour upon the troubled waters.
